Home Decorating DIY Hallways

What can I do with hallway/stairs/landing?

last modified: 2 years ago

I want to get rid of the magnolia! I’m not sure whether to do it coloured and white woodwork or white and paint the banister, grey maybe.

When I’ve decided on the paint, I’ll find some decor for the walls and things

Any ideas?

You could do either! White walls with mirrors and one nice ‘hero’ artwork would make it ‘brighter’ or nice dark shades with a collage of artwork would make it moody and impactful!! Depends how you want to be treated when you step in

How to transition from carpet stairs to wood landing?

Since I posted this, I think we came with a plan! We thought that bringing the carpet up to the landing would not work. Why? Mainly safety. When you are walking up and there is a little bit of carpet you are standing on, it could have a little give on it, but also for walking down too. Then the bridge piece wold be in an unexpected place and people would more than likely trip! I found some "nosing" in some sites online and some looked nice, but were chunky. We said no, to those as you do not want something chunky sticking out at the top of the stairs! We are going to get a silver/chrome metal nosing to finish it off, which will be neater and we have chrome hardware on the doors throughout the house now. the carpet just was laid, unfortunately the fitter did not have the nosing we wanted, but its on the way. I will post a pic when it is done so you can see. Here is it, unfinished, at the moment, but so far no tripping!

Carpet on stairs, laminate on landing?
Q
Comments (0)
Hi, I have semi-solid wood flooring in the hallway of my house and I want to put laminate upstairs in the bedrooms and the landing but I'm confused about what to do with the stairs. Ideally I'd like a laminate stairs but am concerned about it not matching the wood in the hall and I've also been told by various suppliers that it's an awkward job that they don't usually do. I'd also be worried about children slipping on a laminate stairs. If I go with carpet I'd prefer not to have to carpet the landing as well but am worried that might look strange and how to finish the top step seems to be a difficulty as well both from an aesthetic and safety point of view. Any advice would be much appreciated!
